Yeah, it’s tasty looking if all you want is zwave, and a possible candidate if you just want zwave plus mqtt and a few third-party integrations like the hue bridge.
As I know you know, but just to be clear since the wrong product description is coming up in the preview box, this is not a “works as a smartthings hub” and it’s not likely to be easy to add to a smartthings set up. It’s a competitor for those primarily using Z wave. It does look like it fills in a lot of the gaps in the smartthings Z wave implementation, so that’s a good thing.
As far as matter… That may be their intention, but zwave to matter is going to be a ways off because of the difference in the addressing systems. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s much more challenging than zigbee or thread. So I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one.
